Maeve couldn't help but open her eyes slightly more, a bit alarmed when Sev mentioned that he had bad eyesight, offering a short explanation on how he used his light magic to correct his eyesight and see correctly. That meant that he would be less of a help than Maeve had initially thought... Together with the fact that Maeve herself was exhausted and tired meant that they couldn't hope to win that battle... It didn't need much for either one of them to realize that Bardus was indeed, incredibly powerful, after sealing their own powers and the magical pressure emanating from him.

[color=6ecff6]"As much as I hate running from a challenge... We are in no conditions to fight him... I am incredibly tired and exhausted... Without my magic... I don't think we will be able to do anything."[/color] Maeve said, biting her lips in an expression of veiled anger.

Before either Maeve or Sev could say anything more though, luckily someone else appeared to give them assistance. Shouting to them and complaining that they had apparently 'picked a fight' with Bardus, as if they had any chance not to... Maeve recognized that voice as a somewhat familiar figure appeared, surprisingly enough, still using wind magic despite Bardus' spell. It was Sahale. Bardus seemed to be surprised by his presence, lunging towards him shortly after.

It was a short, but formidable exchange of blows between both Sahale and Bardus. Even though it became clear to Maeve that Sahale himself wasn't exactly someone 'normal', Bardus was still overpowering him, each one of his attacks taking quite a lot of effort to dodge or to block. When Bardus finally pierced Sahale's defenses and was about to kill him, once again, the mysterious Sahale had another surprise in his sleeves... A powerful wind spirit appeared in the last second, blocking Bardus' attack and flapping her wings to protect both Sahale, Sev and Maeve.

[color=6ecff6]"We can't stay here... I can't fight him in exhausted as I am right now... We need to go as soon as possible!"[/color] Maeve shouted over the strong winds as she looked to Sev and Sahale, using the precious few seconds that the wind spirit gave them by distracting Bardus.

Both of them would be able to see that Maeve was incredibly irritated by what was happening. For her, the thought of having to run away from a fight was humiliating, but she wasn't an idiot... She didn't sleep at all and spent the entire night helping Neev with the wounded. She was definitely not in a condition she could fight a strong opponent or display her full capabilities...
